hi, i am strugling a bit with LWF after upgrading to vray 2.x from 1.5 and max 2014 from 2012. after the loss of max´s output gamma i read a bit around and wanted to ask, if my settings are correct now: max input gama : 2.2 vray: linear, gamma 2.2, color mapping only (no gamma) framebuffer: srgb on are these settings right for max 14 + vray 2.4? thx a lot ---

This is correct, yes. Just make sure your max output gamma is 2.2 as well, and you are good to go. Best regards, Vlado ---

Np. Practically everything needs to be default - that’s as easy as it gets 🙂 Best regards, Vlado ---

Hey, we also recently switched to Max 2014 and Vray 2.4. You said to make sure that output is set to 2.2? What if A want the output to be set to 1.0? I understand that the option is no longer available in the preferences (WHY???) and I now need to work around that with Maxscript. But do I also need to change any of Vrays default settings to accomodate that? ---

Write to an OpenEXR file. 3ds Max 2014 will always write to OpenEXR files with gamma 1.0 without the need to adjust settings. Best regards, Vlado
